16.5″ AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard With Monolithic Top Rail (Anodized Blue)

Description

The 16.5″ AIR-LOK Series handguard utilizes a compression lock-down design to secure a rigid connection between the receiver and the upper assembly. This system eliminates flex by sliding Top Rail over the barrel nut and compressing it against the receiver with four screws, resulting in a tight fit that supports the monolithic Picatinny top rail.

Constructed from T6 aluminum, the body features M-LOK slots on the bottom, left, and right sides, allowing for modular accessory mounting. The exterior incorporates triangle and diamond skeletonized cuts to reduce mass without compromising structural integrity. A 1.32″ internal diameter accommodates standard barrel profiles, while machined QD swivel sockets on the rear right and left sides provide attachment points for sling systems.

Key specifications for the build include a total weight of 13.7 oz including the proprietary barrel nut, which is supplied with the unit. The handguard is finished in Anodized Blue and is manufactured in the USA, ensuring precise machining tolerances for experienced AR-15 builders seeking a lightweight, free-floating solution.
